PhotographerFrank R UrodaLocationJeddo, MIDateNovember 20, 2006EquipmentEquipment list: C-11 scope Older G-11 mount (totally rebuilt and tuned by me) with FS2 goto and ESCAP steppers TCF-s focuser Optec 0.5 reducer ST2000XM with 2020 imaging chip and 237 guide chip CFW8 with A-Don LRGB I series and 13nm Astronimik Ha All housed within my Black River Observatory near Port Huron, MichiganDescriptionThis is my rendition of M-81, also know as Bode's Nebula. I spent 3 nights collecting data for this image during a week-long clear spell. This is a beautiful and relatively close spiral galaxy. Look closely and you can see that something has disrupted one of the spiral arms. It appears that the arm is lifted away from the galactic plane. Perhaps it was an interaction with it's neighbor, M-82? |

PhotographerGeorge LilleyLocationK9 Observatory Warner Robins, GADateDecember 18, 2006EquipmentWilliams Optics ZS80, Losmandy G11 mount, Orion SkyGlow Filter, Canon Rebel XT. Processed in Image Plus and Photo Shop 7. Three hours of images over several nights combined in Image Plus.DescriptionM31, is now high overhead and is great for imaging if you have to deal with light polluted skies - K9 Observatory is within a quarter mile of a Homed Depot, a Lowes and my favorite, a Super Walmart. The Sky Glow filter is a life saver, although it takes me 3-times as long to collect enough data, without it I doubt deep sky imagining would be possiable for me. Cheers from K9 George |
